Hi skytopdesigns,

You seem to have some strange attribute values in your hidden fields. Here's an example of a fairly straightforward PayPal form (modified from a LinkLok example).

In the Form HTML field:<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="paypal@site.com"> <input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.yoursite.com/download.html"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="join"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="99"> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="25.00"> <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.yoursite.com"> <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1"> <input type="image" src="http://images.paypal.com/images/x-click-but5.gif" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">

In the 'Form URLs' tab put the PayPal action URL in the 'Submit URL' fieldhttps://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

You need this so that the form is sent to PayPal instead of your own site. You will also need to set up a return page on your site - in this example it's 'http://www.yoursite.com/download.html'

Hi,
You can change this image by changing this line in bob's code and put the new image inside your joomla images folder :
<input type="image" src="images/x-click-but5.gif" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
